magic up
Produce from nothing
To magic up something is to produce it seemingly from nowhere, as if by conjuring: She magicked up a three-course meal in twenty minutes, He somehow magicked up tickets to the sold-out show.
The phrase suggests resourcefulness or improvisation rather than actual magic—creating something when the means aren't obvious.
Chiefly British.
